About APRIL
APRIL was a South Korean girl group formed by DSP Media. They debuted on August 24, 2015, with the mini-album Dreaming. The group originally included Somin, who left shortly after debut and later joined KARD. In 2016, member Hyunjoo took a break due to health issues. She later left with the reasoning of pursuing acting. Chaekyung and Rachel were added to the group afterward, forming the final six-member lineup. Years later in 2021, Hyunjoo’s brother alleged that she had been bullied by the other members, leading to her departure and even a suicide attempt. Hyunjoo later confirmed the claims, while DSP Media denied them and announced legal action. The controversy led to public backlash against the group. On January 28, 2022, DSP Media announced APRIL’s disbandment after six years.

    BTS graces GQ magazine cover in 15 markets ahead of new album release

    Korea Times Feb 14, 2026

    K-pop group BTS has graced the cover of GQ magazine's latest edition in 15 international markets ahead of the release of its fifth full-length album next month, its agency said Saturday. According to BigHit Music, BTS has been selected as the cover model for the March issue of the men's fashion magazine in 15 countries and regions, including Korea, the United States, Britain, Japan, Mexico, Germany and Thailand. The agency said it marked the first time a Korean artist has simultaneously appeared on such a number of regional covers of GQ. In an interview with GQ, the members shared their thoughts on preparing the new album, emphasizing their commitment to the group while expressing their affection for BTS' international fandom, known as ARMY. The group's upcoming album, "Arirang," will be BTS' first release since "Proof" in June 2022 and the first since all members completed their mandatory military service. It is scheduled to be released March 20, followed by a world tour by the seven-member group starting in April.
